In order to have a real relationship with our creativity, we must take the time and care to cultivate it.

Here's what I like about God: Trees are crooked, mountains are lumpy, a lot of his creatures are funny looking, and he made it all anyway.

... success or failure, the truth of a life really has little to do with its quality. The quality of life is in proportion, always, to the capacity for delight. The capacity for delight is the gift of paying attention.
Julia Cameron
Image
Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is, and the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult.
Julia Cameron
Image
Most artists, ashamed of their need for encouragement, try to carry their work to term like a secret pregnancy.

Creativity is a spiritual issue.
Julia Cameron
Image
You are your own Promised Land, your own new frontier.
Julia Cameron

Writing just for the hell of it is heaven.

At root, a pearl is a 'disturbance' a beauty caused by something that isn't supposed to be there, about which something needs to be done. It is the interruption of equilibrium that creates beauty. Beauty is a response to provocation, to intrusion. ... The pearl's beauty is made as a result of insult.

Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.
Julia Cameron
Image
I am breathing in and out. Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty.
